Over the course of his career, he has worked on master plans and institutional, academic, civic, and multi-residential projects. Notable highlights include the Stephen Hawking Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario; the Borden Natural Swimming Pool in Edmonton, Alberta; and the Scarborough Chinese Baptist Church outside of Toronto.

To achieve project ambitions, he brings exceptional design leadership, development, and execution to every project. His leadership in BIM delivery tools demonstrates his commitment to technical excellence and innovation.

Leading with empathy, Bernard is a mentor who supports and creates conditions and processes that allow the next generation to grow their skills. His mentorship extends beyond his architectural practice: as a high-performance sports coach, he motivates, anticipates, and orchestrates to create successful outcomes.
